Thank you for replying. That's among the first things I looked at. In
all 3 cases of being blacklisted there is absolutely no activity in the
Exim log which can be tied with the information sent over by Spamhaus -
even if I look 1 whole minute before and after. At the moment it is all
still a mystery. I have corresponded with Spamhaus and posted on the
MailOP list. Port 25 is completely blocked outbound on this network,
except for the email server. At this moment in time the only two
possibilities I see is the VDSL router sitting in front of the NAT and
firewall being infected, or something having gotten mixed up at Spamhaus
end.
